Alcohol and speed a factor in driver's death: Quebec police

A man in his 30s died following a car crash early Tuesday morning in Saint-Félix-de-Valois, in the Lanaudière region. Police officers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) in the Matawinie MRC were called at around 1 a.m. to Saint-Jean Road (Route 131) regarding a single-vehicle accident. The driver was travelling north on the road when he reportedly lost control of his car near the intersection of Rang des Forges and collided with concrete blocks. The 32-year-old man from Montreal, who was alone in the car, was ejected from the vehicle upon impact. He was pronounced dead at the scene by first responders. 'Based on the evidence gathered at the scene and witness statements, alcohol and speed appear to have been factors in this collision, which would explain why the driver lost control while he was alone on the road,' said SQ spokesperson Sergeant Éloïse Cossette. A police officer specializing in collision investigations went to the scene to analyze the scene and obtain more information about the circumstances of the accident, Cossette said. Chemin Saint-Jean was closed to traffic until 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on July 1, 2025.
